18 on Batman Eternal #2 reviewBatman Eternal is a year-long event with a new chapter every week, so why is it in such a hurry? Issue #2 is kind of a mess. To me it felt like all five writers (Scott Snyder & James Tynion IV with Ray Fawkes, John Layman, and Tim Seeley) just threw all of their ideas…
Yes, that's an unmasked Dick Grayson pointing a gun at you! USA Today made the announcement that DC will publish an all-new series this July titled "Grayson." The espionage-themed comic that sees Dick Grayson joining the spy agency "Spyral" will be written by Tim Seeley (Revival, Batman Eternal) & former CIA counter-terrorism operations officer Tom King…
Zero Year moves into post-apocalyptic territory, Wonder Woman makes a guest appearance in Batman & ___, Justice League's overdue March issue finally drops, and Batman Eternal enters its second week. Here’s the full list of review comics out this week, April 16th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I…
ALERT: This comes with Superman Beyond too! While there was originally a Justice League Beyond, Vol. 1 and a Superman Beyond, Vol. 1 sold separately, their second volumes have been lumped together in this collection that only bears the Justice League Beyond name! Contents Justice League Beyond: In Gods We Trust features all chapters of Justice…
"Batman Beyond: Batgirl Beyond" has the sound of an original graphic novel about an entirely new element of the Beyond Universe-- and perhaps that's what was intended-- but it's actually the 2nd volume of Batman Beyond Unlimited and the Batgirl Beyond portion is but a single chapter. And while it does seem kind of deceiving…
Dear writers, artists, editors, and all other folks involved with the making of today's Batman comics, Leave the Bat-Signal alone! I get it. Showing one of the most iconic fixtures in the Batman mythology getting perverted or destroyed in some fashion is an attractive yet none-too-subtle symbolic gesture in your story, but enough is enough.…
Batgirl #30 goes back and forth on whether or not it wants to be an emotional requiem issue for Nightwing or a fun throw-away issue about a monster called The Midnight Man that teenagers summon during a night of underage drinking. It's well-drawn, overwritten, and it could have been fun if only it had overcome…
One down, fifty-one more to go. The all-new weekly series Batman Eternal by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Ray Fawkes, John Layman, Tim Seeley, Jason Fabok, and other talented creators begins in big, blockbuster fashion with an action-packed issue that devotes more time toward the GCPD than the titular Dark Knight. Fans of last year's Detective…
Batman Eternal is finally here. That's pretty much all you need to know. Here’s the full list of review comics out this week, April 9th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread reading and if I wasn’t a reviewer, I would never buy it. (I capitalized…
Let me set the stage-- It wasn't that long ago that every bat-title was swept up in the Bruce Wayne frame-up, but those who are only familiar with a New 52 Batman will recognize very little about the Gotham of the early 00's. Barbara Gordon is still wheelchair bound and serving as Oracle, Ted Kord…
The cover reads "SOARING TO NEW HEIGHTS... BUT FOR HOW LONG?" and that pretty much sums up how I feel about the Batwing title right now. It's been good and getting even better ever since Justing Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti took over about a year ago. Luke Fox has made for an interesting character and his adventures…
It's an all-new storyline written and illustrated by an all-new creative team so hop aboard, eager reader! If you've been waiting for the right opportunity to try out a New 52 Batman comic, this is your chance (and don't forget about next week's Batman Eternal #1 while you're at it). In my review of Batman '66, Vol.…
I've been doing this for 2 and a half years now. Every Wednesday I read several Batman comics (it can be anywhere from 2-6) and write an article about each of them, plus there's the occasional graphic novel to tackle as well as a movie or cartoon here or there. I've absorbed more Batman-related material…
The current wave of Justice League graphic novels are a bit muddled because their issues intermingled during a crossover event called Trinity War and as a result JLA Volume 1, Justice League Dark Volume 4, and this book right here are all missing 4 chapters because if a particular chapter didn't feature the same title,…
I only have 2 comics to review this week. Let's all just marvel at that for a second, eh? I'll come right out and say it-- reviewing comics has felt like work more often than not ever since Trinity War began. Just look back on all the extra tie-in comics that leached on through crossover…
Lorenzo Semple Jr., creator of the 60's Batman TV series and writer of such films as Never Say Never Again, King Kong (1976), Papillion, Three Days of the Condor, and The Parallax View, passed away in his home in Los Angeles Friday of natural causes. He had just turned 91 the day prior. Lorenzo Semple…
It's funny, I can't remember the last time I played Injustice: Gods Among Us (video game) but I find myself looking forward to the comic every month. In fact, I hardly even associate the two things anymore. When I hear "Injustice: Gods Among Us" the comic is always what comes to mind first and issues…
Thank goodness for Talon #17. The first two comics I reviewed today were awful, but this here was highly enjoyable. Not a single page is wasted in this ambitious 2-parter that sees Calvin Rose attempt to infiltrate one of Ra's al Ghul's infamous Lazarus Pits so he may once again live a normal life. At…
It's over. Batman: The Dark Knight #29 marks the end of my least-favorite solo Batman title. Before I get started let me just briefly point out where this series went wrong: It originally started before the New 52 during the height of Nolan-mania, hence the title "Batman: The Dark Knight." But instead of trying to…
No, you're seeing things right. DC actually released Part 4 of the "First Contact" saga 3 weeks ahead of Part 3's on-sale date. When I brought this up on last Sunday's "Upcoming Comics" article I asked if you all wanted me to review this now or wait until Part 3 came out and to my…
